Father’s Day is almost here and we’ve made it easy for you to find the perfect gift for your dad. In addition to our large selection of frames for his favorite fishing photos, we have lots of other memorable and whimsical gifts that dad is sure to love.

Get dad a silly gift

“Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing? In case they get a hole in one!”

Do you have a goofy dad who just can’t stop telling dad jokes? Then get him a fun pair of socks to match his personality. Seriously, what dad doesn’t love a pair of playful socks to wear with his favorite sandals and shorts?

Or, you could get him something fun for the garden. Yardbirds are quirky, fun animals created in Kentucky with metal parts of all shapes and sizes. This company recently closed when the owner retired, so what we have is all we can get. These are designed for inside or outside. If you put them outside, they will get a lovely patina on them from the weather. Come get one before they’re gone!

A memorable gift

“What’s better than the past and the future? The present, because it’s a gift”

If you’re looking for something to help you get to know your father a bit better, we have the perfect gift. Delve deep into your father’s life and his treasure trove of memories with “Dad, I Want to Hear Your Story!” These beautifully designed journals with carefully guided prompts will make it effortless and enjoyable for your father to revisit the triumphs, trials, and wisdom of his childhood, teenage years, and adulthood.

This isn’t just a gift for him; it’s a priceless heirloom for you too! Discover the stories that shaped your father’s life and foster an even stronger bond between the two of you.

A gift for the hip dad

“I made a joke about retirement. It did not work.”

Dad’s deserve cool clocks, like this airplane. It’s the perfect decoration for his man cave. We also have tabletop frames designed just for dad and grandpa.

And finally some gifts for those dads who just like to tinker and play

“I found a piece to a jigsaw today but I don’t know where it came from. It’s a bit of a puzzle!”

Is your dad the kind of guy who likes to figure out how things work? Our wood and metal puzzle games are a fun way to challenge his brain. Leave these on the table next to his recliner and see how long it takes him to figure them out. We have a wide variety of puzzles to keep him entertained until he thinks up another hilarious dad joke.

Ordering frames online may seem easy, but let’s be honest – choosing the right colors, frame, and design can feel overwhelming. Recently, one of our customers commented, “This is so much more fun than online framing, because of your help.” This customer had purchased framing online before but had such a great experience working with Tammi that she has been back multiple times since.

Lots of framing choices you can see and feel

You might think it’ll take too much time or be a hassle with all the choices, but that’s where we come in. Our job is to make framing fun, simple, and quick.  We’ll suggest the best colors, shapes, and textures to bring your project to life – exactly as you imagine it. You don’t have to settle for a white mat and a black frame. We have over 3500 samples on our frame wall, but we’ll start with just four or five, and chances are, one of those will be perfect. Our goal is not to show you hundreds of frames; it’s to guide you to one or two that look amazing and let you make the final choice.

You help create the look

You won’t be alone sitting at a computer screen, you’ll be helping create your vision. And if you don’t know what that vision is yet, that’s okay, too. Our expert framers have the experience to guide you through every step, helping you create the perfect design.

Custom glass and mat options

Enhance your space further with our custom mat and glass options to add a personal touch to your favorite photos.

Stop by and give us a try – we guarantee you’ll be thrilled with the final result. Celebrate every moment, big or small, with Frame Depot’s exquisite collection that transforms your memories into art.

Viva Magenta is Pantone’s Color of the Year!

Viva Magenta! The top color forecasted for 2023 has verve, and that is exactly what we need right now. Pantone has declared the color to set a trend this year because it merges the warm strength of the natural world with the rich, open horizons of the digital world. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, joyous and optimistic, powerful and empowering. It is assertive, but not aggressive; dynamic and bold, but fun; warm but also cool. The Red color family is an energetic group, encouraging experimentation and self-expression. Viva Magenta represents a positive future in an uncertain world.

Word of the Day:

Verve – noun

Using Viva Magenta in your home

Many of us have neutral-colored walls and furniture. It is safe, but sometimes can be a bit boring. Make a stand-out statement with Viva Magenta! Neutral spaces often beg for a focal point – something as simple as changing out sofa pillows with magenta ones might do the trick. What about a fabulous piece of magenta colored art? Or a colorful chair? Or a floral arrangement? Or will you be daring and paint a single wall Viva Magenta for a dramatic look?

Last year greens were the it color, and many of us embraced them; they were a soft, soothing shade. Red and Green are complementary colors, so try pairing Viva Magenta with Valspar’s color of the year, Green Trellis. The result will be a calm vibe, mixed with an energetic pop. Add polished silver hardware or frame and you’re set!

How are you going to use these colors this year? We can help!
